Review
          
          
            
              &apos;This book&#xA0;is an outstanding pedagogical tool, which will be useful to anyone looking to gain a foothold in the subject. The second edition, which features new chapters on key figures, prominent topics, and recent developments in the field, is a substantial and welcome development of the excellent first edition.&#x2019;  Brett Sherman, University of South Carolina, USA. &#x2018;Will become the standard textbook for survey courses in the philosophy of language&#x2019;.  Ernest Lepore, Rutgers University, USA. Praise for the first edition: &apos;To my mind this is the best introductory textbook for undergraduates looking to get a feel for the subject, without getting bogged down in advanced technical details. Gary Kemp covers all the traditional topics in the field and presents them in an accessible, engaging, and always rigorous style. Appended to each chapter are useful historical notes, a summary, a few questions, and some bibliographical recommendations for further research - a complete set of study aids that ought to be welcomed by students and teachers alike.&apos; - Stefano Predelli, University of Nottingham, UK &apos;An easy, step by step journey through the classic themes of twentieth-century philosophy of language.&apos; - Fran&#xE7;ois Recanati, Institut Jean Nicod, France &apos;Kemp has written a genuine introduction to the philosophy of language with beginning students in mind. Focusing on the issue of the meaning of natural language, he begins with a naive and, for students, very natural view of linguistic meaning. He then motivates and explains the distinctions, problems, solutions and development of the philosophy of language with the patience and understanding of a master teacher.&apos; - Michael Losonsky, Colorado State University, USA&#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;  &#xA0;
